I did apply but can you be more specific as to what you mean ? which intake ? when is your decision deadline ? did you interview ?

 

I applied last week for the September 2020 start date. The last deadline to apply is June 1st or 4th

 

You left it pretty late to apply to LBS, which other programs have you applied to?

The waitlist review is on the 5th of June and the currently admitted students have until the 26th of May to pay their commitment fees. You are probably in competition with all these students, the admissions team might wait and see how many of them accept their offers and reach out to you after that.

 

All the major schools in London. They added a new round because of covid-19 ending on June 1st.

 

Regarding LBS, I wouldn't worry just yet. If you check the website, it says that the interview decisions will be sent out on the 19th for people that have applied in this round. Have you heard back anything from the other schools yet? I know Imperial sent out some interview invites today.

 

They will send out the interview invites by the 19th, usually left to the last day. If you have expiring offers from other universities you can just call them and try to ask for an early interview+early decision.

 

Interviews came out last Friday. Anyone know how the process works from here? What are the chances of admission past the interview? Is the interview highly dependant on who talks to you or is it standardized?

 

I did not have a very technical background and was interviewing for MiM so take my comment with a grain of salt.

The interview accounts for 20-25% of the admission process as per the speculation of my interviewer so I would assume that you cant be admitted without it. He was super chill, asked me the normal questions of 'why LBS, why you, what is your ideal career path and its timeline, etc". the interview was relaxed and more of a conversation. The interview definitely depends on who you are talking to but also on your background.

After the interview I got the email telling me I got in on the day that they specified on the website.
